| Tekton versus Klipsch Mojystyn, what Tekton speakers have you heard in a home setting with adequate electronics? I am just curious if you know what you are talking about. | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? I received the Degritter, read the manual and had it cleaning records within one and one-half hours. I am absolutely delighted with the results. Dirty old LPs so noisy I considered them unlistenable come out sparkling clean and play amazingly quie... | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? I haven’t noticed any noisy electric power doing anything bad to my stereo. Perhaps this is because I live out in the country, and my house is the only one drawing power from the transformer on the utility pole near my house. I am a lucky guy in m... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Like prebs I am using the Parasound JC3 Jr. with the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge, but mine is on a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm. The Jr. sounds quite good and is so quiet that I must place my head up inside the horn... | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? 12-2-2021 I wrote: "I am not getting a Degritter for Christmas, but barring financial catastrophes I plan to get one to celebrate the Vernal Equinox." Today March 20 is the vernal equinox. I ordered the Degritter from Music Direct yesterday.... | |
| Paper Based Speaker Cone Question Seventeen years ago when i horse traded for a pair of AER BD3 8" paper cone drivers to use in my Oris 150 horns I got a great deal on them. I certainly couldn't afford to buy them new now since these 8" paper cone drivers list for $11,325.00 a pa... | |
| McIntosh MT-2 turntable The Clearaudio Performance DC with their Satisfy Carbon arm lists for a bit under $5000.00. The turntable has Clearaudio’s ceramic shaft in sintered bronze bushing and magnetic levitation to support the platter instead a thrust bearing. Fewer movi... | |
| Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings? I find that my Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC plays rock quite well with good impact and dynamics. In addition it is wonderful with well recorded voices. Come to think of it it is great with all genres of music. | |
| Upgrade Cart/Subplatter on Rega Planar 2 or Step up to Clearaudio Concept I too recommend the Clearaudio. Back in October I bought a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm. I absolutely love it. It was a huge step up from the VPI HW19 II with Eminent Technology air bearing tonearm that I had used for ... | |
| McIntosh MT-2 turntable I failed to research the Mac MT-2 table before I posted above. Scratch the part about the meters. I was confusing the MT2 with the MT 10. I would still buy Clearaudio TT instead of the Clearaudio mfg. McIntosh. | |
| McIntosh MT-2 turntable Having fairly recently bought a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood TT with the Tracer tonearm I am completely sold on the sound and quality of Clearaudio. If it were me I would buy the best Clearaudio table I could afford and forego the meters and Mc... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Just curious, but when people say they have a $25,000.00 system or a $50,000.00 system is that a total of MSRP of equipment they own or is it what they paid for their equipment? I bought much of my system used at around 1/2 MSRP. | |
| Problem with one channel going out..... In the past I had the same problem with my previous LP rig. It finally turned out to be the cartridge, a well used Sumiko Blue Point #2, which was intermittently dropping a channel. | |
| Right-sizing the system / room treatment evangelist Comprehensive room correction such as that provided by my DEQX HDP4 can go a very long way toward correcting room problems. Of course it works best in a room that is already pretty good. I have also tried Audyssey room correction in in a HT rig,... | |
| Bi-amping I am a big fan of multi-amping if done actively. I tri-amp my DIY horns, and I find that a separate amp for each driver with nothing between the amp and the speaker except wire produces clarity and realism unique to that arrangement. |
